Slain Wife Of Hollywood Exec's Son May Have Been Alive During Decapitation: Autopsy

Sam Haskell, whose father worked for the William Morris Agency, recently pleaded not guilty in the case in Los Angeles.

New, disturbing details in the killing of Mei Li Haskell are coming to light.

The 37-year-old woman’s dismembered remains were found last November in Los Angeles, leading police to charge her husband, Sam Haskell, with murder in not only her killing, but the deaths of her missing parents.

A coroner is now suggesting that Mei Li Haskell might still have been alive while she was decapitated, according to an autopsy report obtained by multiple media outlets this week.

“There was no definitive indication that the dismemberment occurred antemortem, however, the possibility that the head and neck removal was initiated prior to death cannot be entirely excluded,” read the report from the Los Angeles County medical examiner.

The autopsy noted that “a sharp powered tool was likely used” in the amputations from the body.
